  • New project

    From Sean Dennis@618:618/1 to All on Wed Oct 15 22:11:14 2025
    Hi everyone,

    I have a new computer project. Since ArcaOS doesn't support SFTP and its port of s3cmd is ancient and unlikely to be updated, I'll be taking a spare RPi 3B I have and, using a 5TB USB HDD drive, I'm going to set up a small NAS using FreBSD 14.3.

    So I will programatically be able to copy over the BBS' nightly backup files over to the NAS and have the NAS backup that file to AWS S3 and my webhost. A friend is going to give me some space on their VPS so I can backup directly via FTP with a GPG-encrypted file.

    I talked to Grok last night and it gave me an absolute ton of help with creating a small NAS under FreeBSD (I could use TrueNAS but it is overkill for what I need). If anyone is interested, I'll post the converaation in here. Grok even gave me a bunch of system tunables for USB 2.0 and other things to keep the system effecient.

    It's amazing that I can build a tiny NAS mainly for the BBS' use.

    Sounds interesting!

    Will this affect the pending release of new versions of the Cheepware
    doors? ;-)
